If I see a Z parked with your GTS, I will call the cops and call you Drew.

people have huge ballz. To sit there spend all that time with blocks and jacks and have a way to get off 'locking lugz'. If that happened in my garage I would have seriously shot em up 'old west' style.

well, at least i got a set of lug nuts, and eric has my center caps.....now all i need is a new set of wheels/tires. The really ****ed up part is since they took both sets of rims/tires, i now have no way of bringing my car down to the shop to get my twins installed...guess i have to look into getting a set of somewhat light weight wheels, that i can fit 315's on while still being lowered. Any suggestions? What do these wheels fit on? supra's, mustangs, 350z's, g35's. Anything else? would say is300 but they are too wide for those. most you can fit is a 9.5" rim i believe.

How did they get your oem wheels/tires? Were they just sitting out in the open in your building's communal garage?

You got the bulk of the list. They can also fit on other cars that have some combo of rolled/cut/flared fenders like SC300/400/430, 240SX, etc...

Do Volk even make a wheel wider than 10.5" for Z's?

There are multiple lock designs (though they look the same) I'm not sure how different it is but I know one guy lost his key and he borrowed his friend's key and it didn't work.

Make sure you watch Craigslist for those wheels. Check other forums out as well with For Sale threads.

I'm thinking they had your car scoped out previously, and finally came back to get 'em. How did they get your oem wheels though?

its a 7 sided lug i believe which is hard to get a hold of unless you have your own set and hammer it in. there are about 25-30 different variances throughout all the kit so the chances of matching are like 3-4%. These are unique so people please look at for ice.

Hai and I discussed the wheel locks issue before and we concluded that no wheel locks will keep your wheels safe. At best they will slow the thieves down. If they want somehting bad enough they will get it. The thing I don't understand is how they are so bold as to enter a gated garage that requires an entry code (they could have followed a vehicle in) but furthermore the garage is VERY well lite and he parks in the path to go in/out of the garage and even at night I'm assuming someone must have seen what they were doing.

Even if you follow someone in, you can't get back out without a remote/code, so it sounds like an inside job to me

the garage door is ghey...its motion sensored so you jsut have to drive up to it and it'll open. Most public garages are like that in Seattle as well...maybe its because they're made a while ago or something.

If you dont have the proper tools then you will end up stripping the outer surface of the bolt and leaving the bolt stuck on. They must have known what they were getting into as in someone in the complex knew what to get and when to do it. Also it probably was an inside job because they must have had a way of transporting it to an nearby unit or onto a truck.

Maybe I have found your stock set? Not sure but just check anyway. Can't hurt to poke around the craigslist ads
